Filmmakers Who Want To Make Money Need To Know This by Zeke Zelker
Film Courage: How many revenue streams did you create with BILLBOARD Movie?
Zeke Zelker, Writer/Director/Transmedia: Okay…merchandise, the web series, the radio station, live events, the film, sponsorship…six.
Film Courage: Which one was most difficult to make work?
Zeke: None. No not really. Because we are still in release, still getting things out there and the thing is it’s a matter of there is no rhyme or reason anymore, there are no rules.
It’s interesting because there are still gatekeepers, a lot of gatekeepers. We are having a hell of a time booking theaters, even though we’ve made money.
Gatekeepers at film festivals, not to say that I want to get into festivals.
